SP ORTS. Tm STAR, WASHINGTON, D. C, MONDAY. JULY 4. 1932. Letdown After Testy Tryouts America’s Danger as Olympic Games STARS FACE TASK OF PRIVING TWICE Have Fallen Down Before at Big Moment After Pre- Games Brilliance. BY GRANTLAND RICE. S far as our Olympic chances A are concerned, the most important thing now is to keep these next few weeks an up-grade matter instead of a slide. Three important semi- finals for the Olympic team were staged over the week end, and every athlete had to give enough to win or he wouldn’t have been in at the later squeezes. But where the coaches and trainers have their task is in setting up two peais, the final elimination at Palo Alto on July 15 and 16, and the Olympics themselves. | There's no doubt about it, one of the things that has done most to keep ericans humble—if they are—is the United States record in Olympic flat races. te solitary triumph by Jack- son V. Scholz at Paris in 1924, and a single victory by Ray Barbuti at Amsterdam Tepres total taie for eight y 0! 000 and more, we sk winners into n a uld have sent more Boat Ride An Alibi. | N the past the big hue and ery has | been the long boat ride to wherever | the Olympiad was being staged. Not only did the athletes stiffen a bit in sinew and muscle during the crossing, | but they probably got on each other': nerves. This time we stay at home. | Nevertheless, the memory of Paavo Nurmi’s sensational running in this country some years ago should make us far from confident that boat rides will upset our visitors, Everything now is confidence tha with Eastman, Venzke, Wykoff, Sexton, Beard, Toppino and the others we will decorate a few more of the sections in the Olympic book. | And just here it is well to remember, | the stocky blond Loyola sprinter has been going great lately. On indoor tracks at New York, Boston and Phila- | delphia recently he tied the world’s | record for the 60-yard dash five times, | and in Boston the other day, over a slow track, Toppino equaled the world’s 100-meter record. | Some Rescarch Work. BU‘I‘ if something should go awry between now and the flag-raising | ceremonies in Los Angeles’ Olympi Stadium, it might not be a bad idea to | have some affuent foundation take up | a study of human fatigue. The best college athletes, who make up three- fourths of our Olympic team, have been competing steadily since late April. And | now at intervals of two weeks they have to rate their pace just fast enough | to clear the hurdles without burning | themselves out. It'’s not a pleasant memory that in | 1928 the candidates for the United States Olympic team equaled the Olym- plc _100-meter record of 1035 seconds no less than eight times in the trials before sailing. In the heats at Amster- | dam, Bob McAllister, the flying cop,, again equaled the record. But when the chips went down, Percy Williams | of Canada, a_voyager, too, by the way, | scampered off with the victory in 1044 seconds. And no American was nearer than fourth. It’s worth while remembering that not a single Olympic flat racing record s a world’s record for the particular | distance. The idea is not to run faster than anybody ever ran, but faster than any of the other tense and weary ath- letes will run the same afternoon. Ray Barbuti’s heroic triumph in the killing 400-meter run at Amsterdam is the model for Olympic hopefuls. He was not a record smasher, but he had the | unconquerable heart. He didn't run as | fast as people knew he could run; he | ran faster, The Mental Side. OME day a scientist is going to dis- cover just how much of a handi- cap it is on an athlete ty know that he is best of his class. How much | does it cost Eastman in nervous energy to realize that record time is expected ©of him every time he steps out? | Maybe it's not a cost. Perhaps the confidence and exultation he has gained from past successes cancels the handicap. But it stands to reason that when the | cheer leaders get together out in sunny | California and begin chanting, “We must win! We must win!” the tom- tom will begin wearing down Wykoff, | Venzke, Eastman and the others. Who is the consulting psychologist for the Olympic team? Foot racing is in a compartment by | ftself, anyhow. You can't settle down | and pull yourself together during the test as you can in foot base ball, | even tennis or golf start, you either lead or lag. the chances are overwhelmingly nst your com- ing from behind to win It's not like cycle racing, where the | pedalers try to lurk behin: victory at the finish.

If there were any more open tennis titles available in Mississippl, Billy Hughes of Memphis, Tenn., probably would hold them. He holds three championships follow- |ing the State open tournament—the singles, mixed doubles and men’s dou- bles. 1t was a long, hard day for the youthful champion when the final day of the tournament he won the singles title for himself and teamed with Beat- rice Bryan of Enterprise to win the mixed doubles and with Sam Abranson of Shreveport, La., to annex the men's | doubles. FISHING By Ed Decker—— NE of the most highly produc- tive spots for large big-mouth bass is around old stumps and windfalls. Often you will see, at the end of a lake or in a quiet pro- tected bay, the heads of several gnarled old stumps sticking up out of a regular sea of weeds. Immediately you figure there’s no use trying to throw a plug or bait in such a mess of weeds, 50 you pass on to a more open spot. Right there you pass up one of Old Man Bass’ favorite haunts. Close inspee- tion will show you a small open spot of water, sometimes only a couple of feet in diameter, right around the stumps. Shoot your bait for that spot, Old Timer, and get set for action A big bass will pick out a spot like that and lay in wait for his dinner to pass by. When it does— bang—less minnows, a more satisfied bass and back he goes to his hide. He will lay there motionless, scarcely fanning the weeds with his tail, and woe betide the minnow, frog or in- sect that crosses his sacred grounds. Bass will hold these favorite s until a larger or scrappier one drives him away. Very rarely will more than one be caught in spots like these, but often each stump has & warrior lying in wait. ‘What are your fishing and camp- ing problems?

Edwin McClure, at 20, has been | crowned amateur golf champion of Louisiana for the fourth time.

McClure won the title the first time 1in 1927 at the age of 15, to become | the youngest State champion since Bobby Jones. He lost in 1928 to Georgz Bush of New Orleans, but came back in 1929 to win again.

For the hook, Abe Mitchell uses a grip radically different from the one em- ployed for the slice. For the latter he keeps the left hand at the side of the shaft, with the right hand well on top. For the hook his left hand is on top of the shaft, with three knuckles showing from above, and the right hand is slightly under the shaft. This helps to close the club face. Abe’s stance is square, with the ball about midway between the feet. ‘The left hand takes the club back, with the elbows close to the body. gedis 3 & The backswing is rather a wide, sweeping movement. In the down- swing the hands are kept in as close as possible at the start, but they throw the clubhead outward across the ball at impact. At the same time the wrists and forearms roll over, performi the operation of shutting the club face. This wrist roll at impact is im- portant. Practice to learn it. Swing slowly so as to learn how to time it. Putting is half the game. Glass has prepared a fine leaflet on e i e B Bl any er ing s - dressed ddress this round were Dr. Don Johnson and Maj. H. C.

Bennett, who holds the club junior title, played the last nine holes yesterday in 33, not- withstanding a 7 on the par 4 tenth hole. He had no fewer than six 3s on his card after the disastrous tenth. ‘T Beaver Dam the club golfers took part in a blind bogey event yes- terday. For the first lucky num- ber—73—there was a tle between D. E. Mattison and J. T. Strong. Four players tied for the next number at 79. They were W. H. White, D. M. Pratt, G. E. Bonesteel and W. T. Henderson. Mrs. D. E. Mattison paired with CIUff Spencer, the club pro, to win & mixed Scotch foursome from Mr. and Mrs. Leonard Hussey. Spencer scored a 73, within one stroke of the course record | set a fortnight ago by Al Houghton. Howard Nordlinger, who has con- tracted the winning habit at Wood- mont, won another tourney at his home club yesterday, annexing the final in the handicap tourney by a 5 and 4 vic- tory over Henry Kaufman. Stanley Glaser won the second flight, defeat- ing Joseph Mazo, 1 up. J. Ste- phens won the class A sweepstakes, with a card of 92—24—68. Harry King was second with a net of 69. liam Keroes won in class B with a net card of 73. In addition a minia- ture tournament was started which was to be concluded today. At the Washington Golf and Coun- try Club a ringer competition was be- gun, with the club golfers to finish the tourney today. Other events were scheduled today at most of the clubs. AVE you ever gone into the high grass and whacked your ball out and found two balls shooting out where only one went in? Dr. Thomas D. Webb did it yesterday at Washing- ton. Hooking into the rough at the seventh hole, he knocked his ball out onto the fairway, and to his surprise another ball went out too. Apparently both balls lay in the deep grass almost touching each other. Another stunt pulled yesterday at Washington was that of young Jimmy Noville, who drove over the fifth green, 300 yards from the tee. “A spoon for me on that hole in the future,” says Jimmy. “Too much trouble over that green.” DISTANCE RUNNERS IN TITLE RACE TODAY Kennedy and Moran Expected to Make Competition for Agee in Ten-Mile Gallop. IXTY-ODD runners were to com- pete in a 10-mile District open championship race today staged as a feature of the Takoma Park Inde- pendence day celebration. Billy Agee of Baltimore, national marathon champion, was a slight favorite, with Bill Kenhedy of Dor- chester, Mass., another noted mara- thoner, and Moran of New York ex- pected to make it hot for him. Col. Hjalmar Ericson was to fire the starting pistol at 1:30 o'clock, at the barrier on the Mount Vernon Highway, 150 yards beyond the railroad bridge. The finish was to be at the Takoma Park playground. Runners from eight States are en- tered, but the District A. A. U. title was to go to the first Washington man to finish. To the race victor was to be awarded The Evening Star Trophy. ENGEL BALLYHOO WIZARD Chattanooga Pilot’s Novelties Win Support for Ball Club. By the Associated Press.

THE SPORTLIGHT BY GRANTLAND RIC ‘OST of the ball players I have talked to figure Joe McCarthy's Yankee team will have the flag won by August. But few are willing to make any guess concerning the Na- tional League race. in which any one of six clubs can still win—and where any one of six clubs is good enough to win with a slight margin in the way of luck. Pittsburgh’s remarkable surge from around the bottom to the top has made this club a slight favorite over the field. ‘The Pirates at least have been the best ball club in the league for the last month and this is the club that will take most of the watching. UST after Paavo Nurmi breaks all records in the marathon run, or ° rather over the marathon distance, Matti Jarvinen, another Finn, breaks the javelin record by nearly 10 feet. It is one thing to break an old rec- ord, but it is something else again to break it in four or five pieces, leaving only debris in one's wake. If Nurmi isn’t barred by a final de- cision, Pinland will pick up more points, man for man, than any other nation entered. Nurmi, officially cleared by his own country, should be reinstated. The chances now are that he will be. UNNING across Gene Sarazen, the double champion, I easked him just how much he thought he had improved in stroking the ball since he won at Skokie in 1922. “My greatest improvement,” he said, “is in pla) the wind. On a quiet day I don't believe I am hitting the ball much farther now than I did 10 years ago. But there is a big difference when the wind begins to blow. Ten years ago I couldn't use it at all. Now I can take advantage of any type of cross wind to let the ball ride with it. And on windy days most of the holes are u%:t by & cross wind of one kind or IS DI S « “Another big improvement,” he con- tinued, “has been in my bunker play. I lost more than one championship by taking extra strokes in a bunker or putting the ball too far from the cup to be sure of getting down in two more. “Today I feel fairly confident of rap- ping the ball from a bunker to within five or six feet of the cup, even from a bad lie.
